Am I too old to show my cleavage?

Sally12 thank you for the link. I thought OP was a bit anxious about showing her cleavage too but apparently not. Which is fine, but nice that you took the time to give some alternatives. Certainly helped me

Go for it!

Thank you. I certainly wasn’t being judgmental and definitely not intending to be rude - just trying to help

Go girl ! Enjoy wearing it .

You’re way too old yes.
I feel too old & I’m only 58!

Wear it anno

I wish I could!

Wear it enjoy!

I’m 71 with a cracking good cleavage, I show it off as and when I feel like it! annodomini you go girl!!

Hetty why should she cover up? Very judgemental. Why are women other womens worst critics. You wear it with pride Anno.

We are never too old to do anything Anno ( unless it’s likely to be dangerous)
Flash ‘em with pride!

Well, if you are comfortable showing your cleavage, go for it. Personally, it wouldn't be for me - but that's got nothing to do with age, I have always hated showing my (very ample) cleavage, it's kept under wraps most of the time!

Just wear clothes that make you happy

I don't like showing cleavage. I don't think it looksc'nice'. That's my personal view.
If you like showing cleavage then your age or the condition of your cleavage is irrelevant. Why should it? Wear your dress. You love it!

rafichagran, I'm quite happy to be proved wrong - so do post your wonderful octogenarian cleavage photos folks!

Realistically, though, body dysmorphia can result in over (as well as under) confidence.

Wear it of course and be proud. I wish I still had a cleavage!

I was sat in a restaurant near you last night annodomini and I watched the yoof go by on their way to pubs and clubs. I saw that people today are wearing what they want to wear and what they feel good and comfortable in. The "Am I Too Fat/Thin/Old/To Wear This" rule book has been torn up! If you like it, feel comfortable in it, then wear it and rock it!

If you want to wear your lovely dress then definitely do it. “Frankly dear I don’t give a dam” - not quite correct quote and I can’t remember which film star had the line. Personally I don’t like seeing cleavages at any age but we are all different.

Why would you want to show cleavage? Wear a vest or camisole and be decent.

nothing personal, obviously as i don't know you, but i don't like visible cleavage. on anyone, young or old.
but if it's a nice dress, could you get or fashion a kind of inset to cover that part, usually of a lighter colour.
or just wear some kind of covering underwear, bandeau style maybe.
do what you feel is right for you. age is irrelevant. enjoy your clothes.

If I felt confident wearing a low neckline at whatever age I wouldn’t be asking anyone, I’d just do it.

what a fascinating article and useful site generally.
thank you Sally12.

i have some shirts that i liked but was resigned to ditching as they have become too tight, must have shrunk, in the midriff area.
a neighbour said they looked nice and suggested using them as 'jackets'. i had no idea what she meant. basically to wear a tee shirt or similar underneath and slip them on over, as if they had no buttons. simples.
i would never have thought of that. so glad of ideas.

Wear it and enjoy. Think Joan Collins ..always fabulous.

Wear a vest or camisole and be decent.

Or take no chances and wear a liberty bodice!

It’s all about how comfortable you feel showing cleavage. But if you aren’t , no need to ditch the dress just get a camisole
